What is a NAATI Certified Translator?
NAATI (National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters) is the official Australian government body that accredits translators and interpreters. Only translations completed by a NAATI certified translator — bearing the translator’s NAATI accreditation number and certified stamp — are recognised by Australian government agencies for visa, immigration, court and official purposes.
Not all NAATI-qualified translators produce government-accepted translations. Only translations completed at the NAATI Professional level (formerly known as NAATI Level 3) are accepted by the Australian government. A NAATI Professional certified translation must include a certification statement, the translator’s NAATI number, signature and date.
Why Does NAATI Certification Matter?
Australian government agencies — including the Department of Home Affairs, courts, schools, banks and state road authorities — require NAATI certified translations when accepting non-English documents. Submitting a non-certified or self-prepared translation may result in your application being delayed or rejected.
This applies to:
✔ Visa and immigration applications
✔ Australian citizenship applications
✔ Driving licence translation and conversion
✔ Birth, marriage and death certificates
✔ Academic transcripts and qualifications
✔ Legal and court documents
✔ Medicare and medical purposes
✔ School and university enrolment
How to Verify a NAATI Certified Translator
You can verify any NAATI certified translator using the NAATI number printed on the certified stamp of your translation document. Visit the official NAATI website and search the translator’s registration number to find their registered email address. You can then contact the translator directly to confirm they completed the document.
Important things to check on your NAATI certified translation:
- The translator’s NAATI accreditation number
- The translator’s name and signature
- The certification date
- The translation direction (e.g. Chinese to English, or English to Chinese) — the translator must be accredited in the correct direction for your document
⚠️ Warning: Some unregistered companies provide fake NAATI numbers at the time of quoting, then deliver documents with a completely different stamp. Always use a reputable, Australia-based translation company. Under Australian law, your interests are better protected when dealing with a business operating in Australia.

Does a NAATI Certified Translation Need to Be Notarised?
No. A NAATI certified translation is already accepted as an official certified document by Australian government agencies. You do not need to notarise it again.
Note: If a government agency asks you to provide a “certified copy” of your original document, this refers to having a Justice of the Peace (JP) certify a photocopy of your original — this is a separate step from translation. A NAATI translator cannot act as a JP for your documents, as these are two separate roles under Australian law.
Do I Receive a Hardcopy or Digital PDF?
Both. Every order includes:
- 1 × Digital PDF (delivered by email, same day)
- 1 × Hardcopy (posted free via Australia Post standard mail)
Express post available upon request (additional charge applies).
Different agencies have different requirements. We recommend checking with your receiving agency whether a digital PDF or hardcopy is required before submission.
